Umm stun just gives them defence penalties.. doesn't stop them from doing 'specials'.

Not yours.

This is probably the single most unbalancing weapon in the game, aside from an AT-ST.


There's an Imp on our server that will go around tossing mind poisons on Rebels and never EVER get a TEF. He does this repeatedly, knows it's an exploit and has admitted it to 20+ people who were standing around him.


It's a free attack with NO RISK and no defense. He can't be stopped and people just start dropping. If he sees you again, he just does it again. How is this possible? Overt, covert.. it doesn't matter.


This has to be fixed or just taken out of the game entirely.

As a victim of mind poisons earlier tonight, I have to say they're powerful, but I really had no problem with that (other than having it incap me 7 times instead of just killing me after the third so I could get on with the game), but the Combat Medic who was using them, was doing so from a room on the 2nd floor of a house, and hitting people before they even got to the front door. That, to me, seems kind of wrong. No matter how skilled you are at throwing poisons, I can't see how you get them through 4 walls.

Anyways, opened my eyes on combat medics, never really knew what you guys were capable of, hehe.

I think if people play it smart and dont bunch up then they can avoid aoe attacks on all their members. I don't know about everyone else but I need to get within ~40m before I can toss my poison, well within range of a bunch of armed fighters.

Actually I havent been able to apply poison without being attacked since Friday night. I don't know if they meant to fix it, but it appears to be working right on my end now.
